Why are we surprised about people using guns, trucks, and bombs to kill people? We have planted violence on television shows, in movies, and on the games our children play. It doesn’t matter what instrument you use, the fact is, if you have been brainwashed with violence, you will become violent.

We all know, in our hearts, that when we took God out of our culture, we were planting the seeds of rebellion and now we are beginning to see the harvest. We took prayer and the Bible out of our schools and put in security fences and armed guards. We let the Supreme Court tell us we could kill babies and we wonder why some think that life is cheap.

We let the courts decide that pornography was good and prayer was bad and we shifted the foundation out from under our children. In the name of tolerance, we allowed people to intimidate us into accepting immorality. We allowed our schools to teach the false theory of evolution, and they refused to teach about creation, our Christian heritage, or our Constitution and now we have children who cannot read, think, or act like patriots.
Zig Zigglar called it, GIGO, “Garbage in; garbage out.” The Bible said it this way: “Whatever a man sows, that shall he also reap.”

We could change things. Hollywood could stop producing movies that ridicule Christianity and promote violence, sexual perversion, and pornography. Some people are producing good shows. We could support the good movies and refuse the bad. We could turn off the TV until the stations change the programming.

We could refute the lie about separation of church and state and insist that prayer, the Bible and the Ten Commandments be put back into our schools and our courts. We could repent and pray, asking God to forgive our country.

The promise is still, “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray, and turn from their sins, then I will hear from Heaven, forgive their sins and heal their land.”
